Vista file copying (asking to overwrite..)

[bledd]

Just copied 20 out of 25 folders from my mp3 player to my pc (had done 5 already yesterday)

i selected the whole 25, and was impressed to see that it copied all the others first before asking me what to do with the duplicates

so when i clicked 'skip 5 items' it was instant and didn't just pause at the first one, then wait for my input.

first time i've really done that in vista, usually i'd carefully select each folder using ctrl + click, or just use robocopy

Yeah that's a feature that's long overdue, I remember thinking years ago in Windows 98 why can't it ask me these questions after doing the rest of the stuff. What does it do when you try and start two seperate copies to the same disk, does it queue them up or send the disk head crazy like in every other version of Windows?

Aye thats one of the little things which make me love vista.
